hi i'm back!
How're you doing Indy?
i have an update on the bug. I was being oc so i started playing 3 stars from the beginning, this time now with maniac encounters (still on normal mode). so when i was in marshlands of xen looking for the 3 rare flowers, sarah again levelled up to 32, and the same issue occurred (cannot allocate even after clicking yes on the allocation message). So I was wondering Indinera, does sarah leveling up to 32 cause this bug?
One other possible cause is if you click
no on the allocation message first (again when Sarah levels up to 32) and then quit, go back to last save file, level Sarah back up to 32 and then this time clicking on yes when prompted to allocate. This one caused the bug for me.
I do hope these tests I did help you with resolving the issue. I have experience on bug testing and documentation in my past job, i hope i didn't annoy you with my wordy posts.
PS if you need the new save files i can send them over to you. uninstalling and re-installing 3 stars did not fix the issue on my end; is it possible that the issue happened because i leveled up too high too early in the game, or that i have too many items? Is it because i am on Win XP virtual machine? Is there a way to auto allocate, like maybe tweaking 3Stars.ini? I just feel bad about the speed points i'll lose for Random.
On another note i installed 3 Stars of Destiny on another laptop, 32 bit. It installed and launched successfully, and it was on full screen!!! i was so happy when i found out! no more squinting with my VM.
now i'll see if the bug will persist here. There was a windows.txt file in my 3 stars app data, i guess that was what i was missing on my XP VM.
independence day is not for me; when i'm bound to you i feel so free... - bc
